Applied Research

Research is most useful when people can act on it.

EPIC works with government and community partners to answer practical questions, combine rigorous evidence with lived experience, and turn what we learn into useful next steps. Our projects can include interview, surveys, administrative data, policy analysis, community engagement, evaluation, and other methods shaped around the question at hand.
